    Great tips. We’re in a horrible heat spell here in NJ. Thanks for the video. Stay cool.

    It's super hot in Cali now too. Thanks for the tips on keeping chickens cool in the summer. I always enjoy and learn a lot from your vids. I enjoy your great sense of humor too lol. Keep up the good work.

    We have Ayam Cemani chickens at home, so i guess they get even hotter in the sun

    I spray the ground with water. They like to dig and scratch in the damp soil and grass.

      That would be like a sauna right now in the sun. I bet in a nice shady spot would be key!

    I got a chicken cam inside the coop, and they look hot at night, like panting and opening their wings. It's pretty shaded, and has 3 windows and vents on corrugated roof. It's mid-80s here on the high, I wonder if I should add a vent maybe with a fan across one of the windows. And just bolt a panel onto it for the colder time.

    How about a small kiddie pool! They could really cool off.😊

      @@pretendfarm Same, they just really don't get kiddie pools etc. I just followed the chicken chick's advice to dunk your chicken up to the neck in a bucket of cool water in order to wet the feathers because they can't sweat. It worked for a few of them, my lavender orpingtons were less panty, and my roos also, who are all docile with people, but they all protested to some degree or another. I ended up injuring a hen's leg when she tried to fly up wildly and suddenly. So lesson learned. Do everything very carefully.
